it depends on if you want a brand new ipod that comes with everything, and never been used before, or if you want a slightly used ipod thats been fixed up to look like new, but may not include everything.

Also, refurbished iPods don't usually last as long as new iPods. But for me when my refurbished iPod mini broke, I was able to go to the Apple Store and they gave me another refurbished one in exchange for the broken one, and it has lasted ever since. Not sure if all stores have that policy though.
